It is rare to have an old English cello with so much history available for purchase in New Zealand. Made around 1800, this elegant Cello reflects the Amati and Stainer styles that were popular in 18th Century London, when many workshops were crafting similar cellos, making England famous for its "bass violins".  The cello has been well cared for more than two hundred years and lovingly restored. It has a smooth, warm tone, speaks easily, and is resonant and responsive across all registers. With its character and charm, it is ideally suited to quartet and chamber music, or solo work in intimate settings.
